A sequence of imaginary portraits of the
Kings of the House of Stuart,
traditionally regarded as having
been painted by George Jamesone
for Charles I., who, when he
visited Edinburgh in 1633, was
welcomed by the magistrates with
an exhibition of portraits by this
artist, to whom the King sat for a
full-length portrait.
According to the Black Book of Taymouth, as quoted by Mr. Bulloch in his Life of
Jameson, 1885, p. 92, Sir Colin Campbell employed the " Scottish Van Dyck" to paint
sixteen portraits, and. later, nine more. Thus, "//<?;«. The saide Sir Coline Campbell gave
lo Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart.
untoe George Jameson, painter in Edinburgh, for King Robert and King David Bruysses,
Kings of Scotland, and Charles ist, King of Great Brittan, France and Ireland, and his
Majesties Ouein, and for nine more of the Oueins of Scotland their portraits, quhilks
are set up in the halles of Balloch, the sum of two hundreth thrie scor punds "
Jamesone was a follower of Rubens and Van Dyck, and the first painter who
worked in Scotland in a manner resembling that of the former master. He was
much employed by the Scottish nobles ; many of his pictures are at Taymouth Castle,
the seat of the Marquess of Breadalbane. Born in Aberdeen in 1 586, he died at Edinburgh
in 1644, and was buried there in the Church of the Grey Friars. Mr. Bulloch, as above,
catalogued one hundred and ninety of Jamesone's still extant pictures, which are nearly
all in Scotland.
The well-known apocryphal series of the kings of Scotland in the long Gallery
at Holyrood Palace (no in number), was painted in 1684 by a Fleming named James
de Witt. His contract with the Government to supply them on canvas in oil colours is
still in existence.
Lent by The Marquess of Lothian, K.T.
7. James III.
King James IIL appears to the waist, in three-quarters view to right, wearing a
dark hat, with an enseigne, a dark mantle lined with white over a vest of cloth of gold.
From a gold neck-chain hangs the badge of the Order of the Thistle. On the side is
written, " JACOBUS 3 D. G. R. SCOTORUM." 14 X ID in.
Lent by F. Mackenzie Eraser, Esq., of
Castle Eraser.
8. Two Wings or Doors of a Triptych. The centre wanting.
Formerly in the Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity, Edinburgh,
called the King's Chapel, which building was demolished in 1848.
Two separate leaves painted on panel prepared with gesso, each
six feet ten inches by three feet eight inches. Possibly by Van
DER Goes, circa 1480.

\b) Sir Edward Bonkle, l^riest, Provost of the College

James IV. 1473-15 13.
{d) Margaret of Denmark, Consort of James III. Married,
July, 1469.
{a) The dexter outside wing. God the Father and God the Holy Ghost manifesting
the dead body of God the Son. The Eternal Father is represented under the emblem
of a man of co-equal age with His Eternal Son. He wears a red robe, and red mantle lined
with green. The hair is long and is auburn. The beard is short and pointed. There is
no crown. The Holy Ghost is depicted under the emblem of a nimbed white dove with
wings outstretched, hovering over the head of the dead Christ, who is upheld by the
hands of the Father. There is no crown of thorns. The wound-prints in the hands and feet

are open, and with the right hand the world's Redeemer points to His riven side
and closes the now bloodless wound. The Father is seated on a golden throne, on the
dais or step of which lies a crystal orb of empire and divided into three by gold
bands. At the back of the throne are two crystal pillars with gilt caps and bases,
surmounted by crystals cut in facets. The sky above is painted to represent the after-
glow of the going down of the sun, and a cumulus cloud of deep blue surrounds the
whole picture, certain portions of which have at least once been repainted.
[b) The sinister outside wing. Kneeling (in the South Transept of his Collegiate
Church, and just outside the stone rood screen, on which the Annunciation and Coro-
nation of our Lady are carved) is the figure of Sir Edward Bonkle, priest, first Provost
of the Collegiate Church, Confessor to the Oueen, and donor of the Triptych. He
is in the prime of life. He is clean shaven, and wears the tonsure, and has a fine linen
surplice over his furred pelisse. His almuce of grey squirrel's fur hangs over his left
arm and is admirably painted. His hands are joined in prayer, on the third finger
of left is a gold ring, the large chaton of which is set with a ruby. Behind the
Provost is an organ with seventeen pipes in front, set in a gilt wooden case, and
standing on a dark wooden base at the entrance of the transept. In front of the organ,
over the key board, is an open book bound in red, on which the first verse of the hymn,
O Lux Beaia Trinitas, is given, together with the plain chant notes. An angel with
jewelled circlet and with green wings, white amice and alb, who is seated on an oak
trestle stool on which is a shield charged with the Bonkle arms — azure, a chevron argent
between three buckles or has the right hand on the key-board, and gives the Provost
the note for intoning the hymn, whilst touching the Provost with the left hand as if to
remind him that worship is due for the open vision vouchsafed to him of the Holy
Trinity. Another angel with peacock green wings erect, amice and alb, stands on the
floor of the Church working the bellows. (Maitland, in History of Edinbi/rgh, gives
exterior view of this Collegiate Church.)
{c) Within a church, and kneeling under a cloth of estate, or traverse, of red colour, is
the figure of James IIL, King of Scotland, attended by his son, afterwards James IV.,
who kneels behind him, whilst at his back is S. Andrew the Apostle, the heavenly
patron of the Scottish kingdom. The king kneels in front of a trestle desk, covered with
dark blue drapery, on which is an open illuminated Latin Book of Hours, supported by a
gold-tasseled black cushion. His hands are joined in prayer, and thumb crosses thumb.
Over a robe of red baudekin cloth with brown fur cuffs, is a mantle of 1 iliac hue lined
with ermine, over which is an ermine tippet sewn in narrow strips, and fastened by a
triangular shaped jewel of great beauty, from which three large pearls depend. In the
dexter corner of the picture at the top, are the arms and crest of Scotland ; the artist
has omitted the double tressure in chief, thus giving more importance to the red
lion of Scotland, which like the red lion of the crest, faces sinister instead of dexter.
S. Andrew stands erect against his saltire cross made of two rough trunks of trees,
and wears a green coloured mantle over a black robe. With his right hand he places a
golden gemmed crown, of exquisite design, on the king's head, and, in the other,
holds an open book ; his head is bare, and is surrounded by a gold-rayed glory.
Prince James(vvho was born March 17, 1471 — 2, andlooks like a young lad, thus dating
the triptych circa 1480) is clad in a furred pelisse of dark stuff, over which is a mantle of
scarlet figured damask lined with ermine, and his ermine tippet is of the same fashion as
that of his father. The palms of the prince's hands are asunder, but the tips of the
fingers and thumbs touch.
12 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart.
The patterns on the carpet in the traverse, on the stone floor of the church, also
the two cushions on which the king kneels, call for attention.
{d) Under a green traverse, placed within a church, is the kneeling figure of Margaret
of Denmark, Queen of Scotland. Before her is an open illuminated Latin Book of Hours,
the book-marker in which claims notice. The book is placed on a gold-tasseled black
cushion, which rests on a trestle desk draped in scarlet cloth, on which, in a lozenge, are the
arms of Scotland, impaling : — quarterly, divided by the cross of Denmark— i, Sweden ; 2,
Denmark ; 3, Norway ; 4, Sclavonia : over all, quarterly, I and 4 Holstein, 2 and 3
Sleswick, surmounted by Oldenburg. The hands of the queen are ringless, and joined
in prayer ; the right thumb crosses the left. She wears over a dark blue robe a close-
fitting bodice of red cloth of baudekin ; over which is an ermine-lined mantle of similar
blue material as her robe, which, like the bodice, is ermine trimmed. Over the
shoulders, and reaching in front as low as the waist, is a sort of yoke or pall of gold
with gems. On her head, over a crepine, rich with pearls, is a jewelled crown. The hair
is almost totally concealed, and drawn tightly off the face, and on a gold band, over the
left ear, are the letters P N A C N , the meaning of which is at present unknown. The
necklace of two rows of pearls, connected by oval- shaped gems, from which hangs a rich
jewel, should be noted.
The queen is attended by her patron saint, S. George, Our Lady's knight, and one of
the Champions of Christendom, who stands in full armour on her train, over the armour
falls the singular leather trimming resembling oak-leaves stitched on red cloth. His
head and hands are, however, bare, and the former is surrounded by a gold-rayed glory.
With the left hand he holds his lance, from which a pennon, party per pale argent
and azure — the livery colours of our Lady — is unfurled, on which, in letters of gold, is his
-war cry — JHESV . maria. The cross of S. George is in chief This figure has been
attributed to SS. Knut, Olaf, and Eric.
In Pinkerton's Iconographia Scotica, pub. in 1797, the subjects on two doors of the
triptych have been badly engraved. Mr. David Laing, in 1857, published an account of
these paintings, and says, '' Hardly can any kingdom in Europe boast of a more noble
Family picture of this early epoch."
The panel with the Queen and S. George has been given in Shaw's " Dresses and
Decorations," Vol. IL 77 X 37 in.

9. James IV. (1488-15 13).

turned to the front ; in the right hand the king holds a white daisy or marguerite, and thus
alludes to his wife's name ; see her portrait, No. lo. On his light brown hair is a flat

WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. . 15
Son of Matthew Stuart, Earl of Lenox, grandson of Margaret, Queen of James IV. of
Scotland by her second husband ; born in England, where his father had taken refuge, 1 546.
In 1565, February 5, Mary Queen of Scots first saw him, and was married to him at Holy-
rood, July 29 of that year, much to the disgust of Queen Elizabeth, who had proposed Lord
Robert Dudley, afterwards Earl of Leicester, as a husband for her '' sister" of Scotland.
He was blown up with gunpowder in the house of Kirk of Field, near Edinburgh,
February 9, 1567. Through his mother he was connected with fourteen kings or
queens. This picture, being branded on the back of the panel with the " C " and crown
of Charles I., appears to have belonged to that king. No portrait of Darnley is
mentioned in Vanderdoort's catalogue of King Charles's pictures ; this work may
nevertheless have been in one of the Scottish palaces. In the catalogue, by Chiffinch,
of King James's pictures in the custody of the Oueen-Dowager, is "No. 1019, Henry
Steward, Lord Darnley, when he was young, to the waste." " Henry Stewart, King
of Scotland— Lord Darnley," was No. 962 in the same collection, which contained
two other portraits of Queen Mary's husband. It appears to be a companion picture
to the next portrait of Darnley lent by the same owner. On a piece of paper attached
to the back of this picture is written: 31 Afay, 1639. Given to my Sovereign Lord
the King by his Grace the Duke of Lettnox {?}. The peer alluded to was James Stuart,
Duke of Lenox, who, in 1637, was married, by Laud, to the beautiful Lady Mary
Herbert (born Villiers). He was created Duke ot Richmond in 1641. The Duke died
in 1655. 27 X 21 in.

close to the throat, ending at the neck in a ruff. Within a cartouche is Henrici^s

Of his marriage and his demeanour at that time take the statement of the English
ambassador (Randolph) to the Earl of Leicester, July 31st, 1565: "All honour that
may be attributed to any man by a wife he hath it wholly and fully, all praise that may
be spoken of him he lacketh not from herself, all dignities that she can indue him with
are already given and granted. No man pleaseth her that contenteth not him, and
what may I say more. She has given over unto him her whole will, to be ruled and
guided as himself best liketh. She can as much prevail with him in anything that is
against his will as your lordship may with me to persuade that I would hang myself.
This last dignity out of hand to have proclaimed him King, she would have had it
deffered until it were agreed by parliament, or had been himself twenty-one years of
age, that things done in his name might have the better authority. He would in no
case have it deffered one day, and either then or never." " Upon Saturday, at afternoon,
these matters were long in debating, and, before they were well resolved upon, at nine
hours at night, by three heralds, at sound of the trumpet, he was proclaimed King. This
day, Monday, at twelve of the clock, the lords, all that were in this town, were present at
the proclaiming of him again, when no man said so much as "Amen," saving his father,
that cried out aloud, " God save his Grace ! "

This picture is branded witli the mark of King Charles, as described in the note on

27. Mary, Queen of Scots, wearing the "Deuil Blanc."
Queen Mary appears to the waist in three-quarters view to right ; the eyes, which
are of a brownish hazel (or chestnut), turned to the front. She wears a close-fitting
French cap, open to reveal the close-curled light brown hair ; a long streamer is attached
to the back of the cap. A wimple of semi-transparent lawn encloses the face from the
ears, and, falling on the shoulders, allows us to see the flesh and dark dress within its
folds, which are gathered in plaits below the chin. No jewels are worn.
Portraits of this class are referred to under the title of " Le Deuil Blanc," because
according to a custom which was not rare in that period, Queen Mary assumed white for
mourning on account of the death, in his seventeenth year, of her first husband, Francis
n. of France, December 5, 1560. Elizabeth of England is recorded as wearing white for
mourning. This picture was in the collection of Charles I., and is thus included in Vander-
doort's contemporary catalogue of that monarch's " Collection of Limnings," dated 1639 • —

piece, more curiously done, of Queen Mary of Scotland, in her white mourning habit,

" Another " was described thus : "No. 14. Item: A defaced picture of Queen Mary of
Scotland, in her white morning habit ; given to the King by the Lord Marquis of
Hamilton, i f. o. 9." These pictures were "in the King's Chair Room in the privy
gallery " at Whitehall. They seem to be those mentioned in the catalogue of King
James's pictures, which is signed by W. Chiffinch, Nos. 408 and 409. No. iioiwas

chased ; it sustains a pomander of the same metal. Behind to the left is seen a city,
with church towers, &c.
Several portraits ascribed to F. Zucchero, and said to represent Mary (2ueen of Scots,
are in existence. It was long the custom to ascribe to Zucchero pictures for which no
better name could be found, while they show more or less of Italian characteristics than
could possibly have been painted at or near the unquestionable date of his visit. This
picture belonged to Henry Boyle, Lord Carlton, secretary to Oueen Anne. He be-
queathed it to his nephew, Lord Burlington, the builder of Chiswick, whose daughter
and heiress married William, Duke of Devonshire. The portrait seems to have been
first known in 1725 at Carlton House, Pall Mall. It was afterwards at Chiswick, and was
moved in recent times to Chatsworth. Vertue, who was employed by Lord Carlton to
engrave it, expressed misgivings as to the correctness of the designation. Nevertheless
he introduced a thistle surinounted by a crown on the fiat back of the chair. 74 X 44 in.

■small figures ai'-^Avla Fodringhamii" showing the queen blinded with a white handkerchief
and kneeling with her head on the block ; her shoulders are bare ; she wears aredboddice
and a black skirt ; her neck is bleeding from a blow of the axe, with which the executioner
standing at her side is about to strike again ; he wears a short white apron. These
persons are on the scaftbld, which is draped with black ; two guards with halberds
stand behind the scaffold ; two gentlemen, the Earls of Kent and Shrewsbury, with white
rods in their hands and a third are at this part of the scene. At the other end of the
scaffold a gentleman is writing in a note-book ; near him are four other gentlemen, two
of whom appear in great distress. Below this design is written in gold, as before,
" Reginam sereftiss""^ Regvm filiani vxorein, et niatrem, astaiitibvs cominissariis et niinistris
R. ElisabetliCB Carnifcx sccvri percviit atq viio et altera ictv trvcvlentcr savciatce tertio
ei capvt abscindit." Behind the large figure of the queen are two small figures of women
dressed in black with white ruffs, conversing and lamenting the fate of their mistress the
queen. These figures represent " Joanna Kenmethie " (Kennedy) and " Elizabeth Curie."
This painting and Nos. 38 and 40 are called " memorial " pictures, and they belong to a
class of portraits which seem to have been designed to commemorate the death of the
queen. Another example of a similar kind is known to have been sold at Christie's many
years ago, but it has not been traced to the present owner. The Queen's picture, whicii
hangs as the centre of the group, embodies the same design, with minor differences as
here described in the notes concerning them, as the others. The inscription on one of
the other two conveys similar censure upon James I. to that expressed in this example.
Here follows an account rendered to Burleigh by his agent, an eyewitness of the scene
in the hall at Fotheringhay, who is probably represented by the figure making notes near
the scaffold. The agent, after describing at length the preparations for the execution,
and Mary's demeanour and approach to the hall, thus proceeds with his narrative : —
" Then she began to kiss hir crucifix, and to cross hirself saying these wordes, ' Even
as Thy amies, oh, Jesu Christ, were spreadd heer upon the cross, so receive me into the
armes of mercye.' Then the two executioners kneeled downe unto hir, desiring hir to
forgive them hir death. Shee answered, ' I forgive yow with all my harte. For I hope
this death shall give an end to all my troubles." They, with hir two weomen helping,
began to disroabe hir, and then shee layde the crucifix upon the stoole. One of the execu-
tioners tooke from hir neck the Agnus Dei, and shee layde hold of it, saying shee would
give it to one of hir weomen, and withall, told the executioner that he should have monye
for it. Then they tooke off hir chayne. Shee made hirself unready with a kinde of
gladnes, and smiling, putting on a payer of sleeves with hir owne hands which the two
executioners before had rudely putt off, and with such speed, as if shee had longed to
be gone out of the worlde.
" During the disroabing of this queen, shee never altered hir countenance, but smiling
sayde shee never had such groomes before to make hir unreadye, nor ever putt of [off] hir
cloathes before such a companye. At lengthe unattyred and unapparelled to hir petticoat
and kirtle, the two weomen burst out into a great and pittiful shrieking, crying, and
lamentation, crossed themselves, and prayed in Lattine. The queen turned towards
them: ^ Ne cry vans, fay prome pur 7>ous ;' and so crossed and kissed them, and bad
them praye for hir. Then with a smiling countenance shee turned to hir men servantes,
Melvin and the rest, crossed them, badd them farwell, and pray for hir to the last.
22 Exhibiiion of the Royal Hoitsc of Stuart.
" One of the women having a Corpus Christi cloathe, lapped it upp three corner wise^
and kissed it and put it over the face of hir queen, and pynned it fast to the caule of hir
head. Then the two weomen departed. The queen kneeled downe upon the cushion
resolutely and. without any token of feare of deathe, sayde allowde in Lattin the psalme^
' /;/ ie, domine, confido.' Then groaping for the block, shee layde downe hir head, putting
hir chain over hir backe with bothe hir handes, which, holding their still, had been cut off;,
had they not been espyed.
" Tlien shee layde hirself upon the block most quietly, and stretching out hir armes and
legges cryed out ; ' hi nianiis tiias. domiiie, comniendo spi^-ittnn vieuDi,' three or four times.

In the two other versions (Nos. 38 and 40) of the subject which -hang next to it,
the figure of the queen differs in no important respect. The royal escutcheon occurs in
the same place in each. In No. 38 the figure of St. Andrew appears in the badge of the
Thistle hanging below the shield, his saltire cross only occurs in the example from
Windsor. The inscription behind the head of Mary on the other versions are varied.
At the foot of this canvas is written in gold letters ^'' Prima qvoadvixit Col. Scot, paretis

The same inscription, without the first line, is on the Queen's picture. In all three
works a small crucifix hangs on Mary's breast. See Mr. Scharf's essay on these pictures,

complexion is browner than in the others. In the execution-scene the guards are nine
in number instead of two ; the inscriptions pertaining to this section are practically the

Three-quarters length, life-size figure, standing in three-quarters view to right ; tlie
eyes to the front ; the hands hang before the figure, the left one lying on the arm of a
chair. On her right httle finger is a ring tied by a cord to the wrist, the dark brown
hair is drawn across the forehead. She wears a large ruff, a gown of white silk
embroidered with flowers in natural colours and extended on a large wheel farthingale ;
her bust is exposed.
This Princess-Royal, eldest daughter of James \. and Anne of Denmark, was born
at Falkland Palace, August 19, 1596, and, from childhood, was distinguished by her
intelligence, fine character, and love for her brothers and sisters, her many accom-
plishments, and sincere mind. She married Frederick V., Count Palatine of the Rhine,
Elector and Duke of Bavaria and Silesia, on February 14, 1613, at Whitehall. This
prince was a man of showy quality, whose weakness of will insured troubles for his
country and family. The cost of the wedding was not less than ^100,000.
Retiring to his dominions and struggling to secure the title of King of Bohemia (in which
dignity he was crowned at Prague, November 6, 1619), but driven from the throne by the
Emperor Ferdinand in November, 1620, he and his queen sought refuge in Lorraine,
and later in Holland ; he died at Mayence, November 29, 1632, and she remained at the
Hague educating her children, among whom were the Princes Charles Lewis, Rupert,
Maurice, and Edward, Count Palatine, and the Princess Sophia, mother of George Lewis,
who became George L of England. Failing to secure the crown of Bohemia, she
became, in the enthusiastic language of her admirers, among whom the first Earl of
Craven was the most chivalrous and devoted, the '' Oueen of Hearts." Her title to this
picturesque distinction was grounded on many acts, like her reply to her husband's general.
Count Thurm, who, when her cause was hopeless in Bohemia, offered to defend the
citadel of Prague to the last gasp, in order that she might reach a place of safety.
" Never,'"' she said, " shall there be more devastation than is necessary for my sake ;
sooner would I die where I am than be remembered by a curse." She bore defeat and
the sharp poverty attending her husband's expulsion from the Palatinate with admirable
patience and dignity; she was described as "reduced to the utmost beggary," and as
" wandering frequently in disguise as a mere vagrant." In a caricature of the time she
was represented as a beggar with a child slung to her back, while the king, her father,
followed, carrying a cradle. After the failure of the Royal cause in England, most of
her family joined Elizabeth at the Hague. After the Restoration she returned to
England in May, 1661, and took up her residence at Lord Craven's then newly-built
house in Urury Lane, whence, in February, 1662, she removed to Leicester House in
Leicester Fields, where, aged 69, she died five months later. She is generally believed
to have rewarded the devotion of Lord Craven by becoming his v,'ife. He was fourteen
years her junior ; a leading soldier of Gustavus Adolphus and Henry of Orange ;
created, in 1627, Baron Craven, and by Charles II. Viscount and Earl of Ci-aven.
If soldiers fought for " The (2ueen of Hearts," men of letters were hardly less devoted
to her service. Among these was Sir Henry Wotton, Provost of Eton, who thus
addressed the following; well-known verses to "his Mistress : —

This is a replica of the famous group now at Windsor, representing the king, queen.,
and their eldest children, Charles and Mary, afterwards Princess of Orange. The original
was doubtless the first of Van Dyck's pictures painted immediately after his arrival in
England in March or April, 1632 ; it was engraved by Baron, Cooper, Sir R. Strange,
and F. A. Daniel ; at the sale of Charles L's pictures it was valued at and sold for
;/^i5o, as "The King, Queen, Prince and Princess." In Vanderdoort's Catalogue of
the '• King's Collection of Pictures" at W^hitehall Palace, 1639, printed by A^ertue, that
original is named as " No. i. Done by Sir Anthony Vandyke. Ivtpriniis. The King
and Queen, Prince Charles and Princess Maria, all in one piece : intire figures so big
as the life ; whereby in a landskip Westminster [is] painted, and one of the Queen's
little dogs by, in a carved some part gilded frame, gf. 8. by 8. o.'' Not one, but two
dogs are in the picture. It appears that in July, 1632, Van Dyck was paid "for one
great piece of His Majestie, the Queen and their children, ^100." At this date Charles
and Mary were the only children of the King. James, who, because of an inscription on
the Windsor picture, has been supposed to be represented as the baby in the arms of
Henrietta Maria, was not born till October 15, 1633. Vanderdoort's Catalogue afiirms
the fact as above, and is confirmed by the Catalogue of King James's Pictures, in which,
with the same names, the picture appears as No. 173. The picture at Windsor is
mentioned in Smith's Catalogue Raisotine, No. 224 ; it was exhibited at the British
Institution in 1820.
The Duke of Devonshire's loan is one of several versions of the queen's group-
There was one in the Orleans Gallery which in 1792 was sold to Mr. Hammersley for
1000 guineas; and sold by him in 1S04 to the Duke of Richmond for 1500 guineas.
It ' is now at Goodwood, and was engraved by Massard, and was one of the Art
Treasures, Manchester, 1857, No. 116. Another is at Chelsea Hospital. Lord Galway
has a version of the upper portion of the group, which he exhibited at Leeds in 1868,
and at the Grosvenor Gallery in 1887, No. 20. The original sketch, in chalk, for this-
group belonged to Sir T. Lawrence. Smith mentioned a group of the King and Prince
Charles standing by his knee; it is a repetition of part of this picture, iii X 82 in.

Garter. In the left ear is a pearl {See No. 406). This picture was sent to Bernini the
sculptor in Rome, and a marble bust was made from it ; but was destroyed in the fire at
Whitehall Palace in 1691. The picture itself was puixhased out of the Bernini Palace
at Rome by Mr. Irvine for Mr. W. Buchanan about 1796, and sold by Mr. W. Wells in
1822 to the king for 1000 guineas. Bernini is said to have expressed an opinion on first

'70. Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I. (Aged.)
A three-quarters length, life-size figure, standing, the face nearly in three-quarters view-

lace head-tire, a falling white collar and cape. In the edges of the book is written
'■''Advantage of Death." The face is much worn and faded, with a melancholy expression.
Henrietta Maria of France was a daughter of Henry IV. and Mary de Medici,
born November 28, 1609 ; she was married by proxy at Paris, to Prince Charles of
England, May li, 1625, being then but sixteen years of age. It is said that on
meeting the King for the first time " Charles, surprised to find her taller than he
expected, cast his eyes upon her feet, as if suspecting that she had made use of
artificial means to improve her stature. Henrietta, with all her native quickness,
perceived what was passing in the King's mind. She immediately raised one of her
feet, and pointed to the shoe : — ' Sir,' she said, ' I stand upon mine own feet. I
have no helps of art. Thus high I am, and am neither higher nor lower.' She
is nimble and quiet, black-eyed, brown-haired, and, in a word, a brave Lady, though
perhaps a little touched with sickness " (Ellis's Original Letters, First Series, iii. 197).
The next passage illustrates the course of many of her majesty's troubles, Mr. Mead
wrote to Sir I\Iartin Stuteville June 25, 1625 (as above, p. 200) and, having referred
to the High Mass then lately performed at Denmark House, stated '' The Chapel
goes on again. She hath twenty-nine priests ; fourteen of them Theatines, and
■fifteen Seculars ; besides a Bishop, a young man under thirty years old." Henriettas
WEST GALLERY,] Portraits.
French entourage soon offended Charles. He wrote to the Duke of Buckingham,
then in Paris, November 20, 1625 : — " Steenie. I vvritt to you by Ned Clarke that I
thought I would have cause anufe in short tyme to put away the Monsers, ether by [their]
atemting to steale away my wyfe, or by making plots with my owen subjects. For the
first I cannot say certainlie whether it was intended, but I am sure it is hindered ; for
the other, though I have good grounds to belife it, and am still hunting after it, yet
seing daylie the malitiousness of the Monsers, by making and fomenting discontentments
in my wyfe, I could tarie no longer from adverticing of you, that I mean to seeke for no
other grounds to easier my Monsers, having for this purpose sent you this other [second]
letter that you may, if you think good, advertice the Oueene Mother with my intentions,
for this being an action that may have a show of harshness I thought it was fitt to
take this way, that she to whome I have hade manie obligations may not take it un-
kyn lie." {Letters^ as above, p. 210.) Charles bore "with the Monsers" for some time
longer. On July 5, 1626, Mr. J. Pory wrote to Mr. M. Mead. " On Monday last about
Three after Noone, the King passing into the Queen's side [of St. James's Palace], and
finding some Frenchemen her servents irreverently dauncing and curvetting in her pre-
sence, tooke her by the hand and led her into his lodgings, locking the door after him, and
shutting out all save onely the Queen." Lord Conway called forth the French clergy, and
ordered them to depart the kingdoni. " The Bishop stood much upon it that being in the
nature of an Ambassador he coulde not goe unlesse the King his master should command
him ; but he was tolde againe, that the King his master had nothing to doe here in
England, and that if he were unwilling to goe, England would find force enough to
conveye him hence." . . . "the Bishop,'' "had so muche power of conferring Orders and
dispensing Sacraments, Oathes, &c., as the Pope could give, and so by consequence was
a most dangerous Instrument to worke the Pope's ends here " (as above, p. 229). The
French in the queen's lodgings were with equal peremptoriness commanded to go to
Somerset House till Charles's pleasure about them was known. Upon this " The women
howled and lamented as if they had been going to execution, but all in vaine, for the
Yeomen of the Guard by the Lords appointment thrust them and all their country-folks
out of the queen's lodgings, and locked the doors after them. It is said also that the
queen, when she understood the designe, grewe very impatient, and brake the glasse
windowes with her fiste ; but since, I hear, her rage is appeased, and the King and shee,
since they went together to Nonsuche, have beene very Jocund together" (as above,
p. 239). Shortly afterwards not less than _;^ 1,100 in money, and ^20,000 worth of jewels
were distributed among the French priests, women, and servants of many degrees.
Nevertheless they still lingered, but were finally compelled to leave Somerset House,
sent to Dover, and thence conveyed to France. The strong temper of Henrietta
Maria was often manifest, but never with consequences more fatal than when
while Charles was hesitating to arrest the five members of the House of Commons,
who had, practically, set him at defiance, " his heart failed him when the morning came.
He went to the queen's apartments early, and finding Lady Carlisle with her, led Her
Majesty into her closet, and there, having put to her all the hazards of the attempt, and
all its probable consequences, declared he must abandon it. Whereat the queen, no
longer able to control her passion, violently burst o\x\.^'' Allez I Poltroiil Go pull these
Rogues out by the ears, ou ne me reiivoyez jainais T Without replying, the king left the
rooin." He attempted to arrest the members of Parliament (Haselrig, Pym, HoUis,
Hampden, and Strode), and failed ruinously. 34 X 29 in.

which her dress is fastened consist of expanded golden wings between which are dark
stones. Many of Van Dyck's portraits of this queen attest the frequency with which she
wore these ornaments, and indicate that she removed them from a dress of one colour —
Avhite, rose, or blue (like that before us) — as she changed the gowns. 49 x 36 in.

father, in 1610; in 1613 he married Elizabeth, Princess Royal or England, daughter ot
James L (see the note on her portrait, No. 51) with extraordinary splendour, at great
cost to James, and with disastrous consequences.
Weldon referred to the troubles attending the chief adventure of the Palsgrave
Frederick in accepting the crown of Bohemia, which the Protestant party in that country
offered to him. His leadership of the Protestants in Germany, his great wealth, alliance
with England, the affections of his people, and even his romantic spirit, but, most of all,
the taunts of his wife, Elizabeth, who while he wavered in the matter, cried " You
were hold enough to juarry tite daughter of a King, and you lie si fate to accept a Crown''
decided his doubts most unfortunately. They forced her in after life to reproach herself
bitterly as the cause of all their troubles and his ruin. He "accepted the fatal gift" and
was crowned at Prague, November 6, 161 9, amidst great rejoicings ; on the i8th of
December following, Rupert, third son of the " Queen of Hearts," was born ; before he
was out of his nurse's arms, his parents, a ruined pair, fled from Prague, defeated by the
Imperial and Roman Catholic troops, and did not stop, although it was distant one
hundred and twenty miles, till Frankfort-on-the-Oder was reached. A fugitive in the
snow, he was thenceforth styled the " Winter King," one such season having exhausted
his sovereign authority. James took no effectual steps in behalf of his daughter ; the
Palatinate was abandoned to war, and became the battlefield of armies the most cruel,
under Mansfield, Tilly, Christian of Brunswick, and Gustavus Adolphus. Frederick's
states and his electoral seat were given to Maximilian of Bavaria, and he died at
Mayence, November 29, 1632. 29 X 23 in.

Mary, Princess Royal of England, eldest daughter of Charles L and Queen Henrietta
Maria, was born at St. James's Palace, November 4, 1631, and baptized on the same day
by Laud, Bishop of London. On May 2, 1641, she was affianced to Prince William of
Orange, and the event was admirably commemorated by Van Dyck when he painted the
two children (she being ten and he fifteen years old) in a group at full length, now at
Amsterdam, the prince holding her hand, on which is a betrothal ring. Van Dyck painted
her in the groups enumerated in the note on Lord Crawford's picture of Charles H. when
young. Her mother, flying from England in February, 1642, took the Princess Mary to
Holland, where she lived happily with her husband, who, dying October 1650, left her a
widow of nineteen years old. Her son, afterwards William HL of Great Britain and
Ireland, was born November 4, 1650, after his father's death. She returned to England
at the Restoration, when Pepys boasted of kissing her hand, and died of smallpox at
Whitehall, December 24, 1660. She was buried in Henry VIL's Chapel.
"Mr. Edward Pickering told me [Pepys, May 16, 1660] in what a sad poor condition
for clothes and money the King [Charles II. just before the Restoration] was, and all his
attendants, when he came to him first [at the Hague] from my Lord [the Earl of Sand-
wich], their clothes not being worth forty shillings the best of them. And how overjoyed
the King was when Sir J. Greemville [Grenvile] brought him some money ; so joyful,
that he called the Princess Royal and Duke of York to look upon it, as it lay in the
portmanteau, before it was taken out." See the note on the portrait of the Prince of
Orange lent l3y the same owner. No. 100.

ornaments, red scarf.
Henrietta Anne, often called " La Belle Henriette,"' youngest daughter of Charles I.
and Queen Henrietta Maria, was born at Bedford House, Exeter, June l6, 1644, when
the troubles of her father were already indicating catastrophe. When she was only
fourteen days old she was, on the flight of her mother, entrusted to the care of Anne,
Countess of Morton, one of the famous beauties of the time, who, in 1646, seeing the
King's affairs becoming daily worse, withdrew her charge to France in the disguise
of a poor French servant ; the two landed after a distressing voyage and in much alarm.
They then started from Ostend on foot, and the event induced Waller to write :
From armed foes to bring a royal prize.
Shows your brave heart victorious as your eyes.
If Judith, marching with the general's head.
Can give us passion when her story's read ;
What may the living do, which brought away
Though a less bloody, yet a nobler prey ?
The Queen and her daughter, according to De Retz, lived in Paris for a time, in poverty
so deep that they were forced to lie in bed together in bitter weather, because they had no
money to buy coals. The young princess, nevertheless, at a later time, made a brilliant
impression on the French court, and in 1660 she was in the zenith of admiration. Louis
XV. himself danced with her, and professed to be her adorer. Pepys saw her when in
London, when she returned to England at the Restoration, and, on November 22, 1660, thus
wrote of her : " The Queen [Henrietta Maria] is a very little, plain old woman, and nothing
more in her presence in any respect or garbe than any ordinary woman. The Princesse
[Mary] of Orange I have often seen before. The Princesse Henrietta is very pretty, but
much below my expectation ; and her dressing of herself with her hair frized short up to
her eares did make her seem so much the less to me. But my wife standing near her with
two or three black patches on, and well dressed, did seem to me much handsomer
than she." In 1660 she left England with her mother to be married to the voluptuary
Philip, Duke of Orleans, only brother of Louis XIV., who was much older than the
charming bride of seventeen. The wedding was celebrated with great splendour March
31, 1661. She lived very unhappily with her husband, and it has often been asserted,
and was never disproved, that she died of poison administered in succory w-ater at
his instance, on June 30, 1670, leaving three children, of whom Maria married
Charles II. of Spain, Anna Maria married Victor Amadeus, Duke of Savoy, founder
of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The male line of this king ended in 1824, on the death
of Victor Emanuel I. whose daughter Beatrice married Francis IV., Duke of Modena ;
her son Francis V., Duke of Modena, became in 1840 the Heir of Line of the
Stuarts, and was succeeded in 1875 by his niece, Mary Theresa Henrietta Dorothea,
wife of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, son of the Regent Luitpold, the present Heiress of
Line of King Charles I. At the time of the death of Victor Emmanuel L, Lord
Liverpool, writing to Canning on the question of court mourning, says : " The Sardinians
are all relations, and there are those who think that the ex-king was the lawful king ot
40 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart.
Great Britain to the day of his death. We must, I think, therefore mourn for him."

This picture was given by the duchess to her friend the Lady Anne (born Mackenzie),
Countess of Balcarres. At Buckingham Palace is one of Lely's finest pictures representing
Henrietta as Minerva, with a helmet and spear. Miniatures of her are well known and,
more than any of the large portraits, suggest the peculiar gaiety and brilliant character of
her beauty. (See C. J. Fox's History of James II., Bishop Burnet's Charles II., and the

R. Browne (Lord Mayor of London), James Duke of York (James II.), Robert Earl of
Lindsey, the Dukes of Buckingham and Albemarle, James Earl of Suffolk, Lord Grandi-
son, and the Marquesses of Worcester and Dorchester.
Pepys under date 21-22 April, 1661, writes : " All the way is so thronged with people
to see the triumphall arches that I could hardly pass for them. It is impossible to relate
the glory of the day (22 April) expressed in the clothes of them that rid, and their horses
and horse-clothes. My Lord Monk rode bare after the king and led in his hand a
spare horse as being Master of the Horse. The King in a most rich embroidered suit
and cloak, looked most noble. So glorious was the show with gold and silver, that we
were not able to look at it, our eyes at last being so overcome." 26 X 79 in.

Three-quarters length, life-size standing figure in three-quarters view to left ;
staff in extended right hand, left hand on helmet in front. Dark brown wig, breast-
plate, brown breeches, sleeves embroidered in lines.
Prince William of Orange, of the House of Nassau, son of Frederick Henry the
Stadtholder, was born in 1626, and on the 2nd of May, 1641, was affianced to Mary,
Princess Royal of England, eldest daughter of Charles I., she being ten and he fifteen
years of age. Principal Baillie wrote : "On Sunday, in the King's Chapel, both the queens,
Maria de Medici of France, and Henrietta Maria of England, being present at service,
the Prince of Wales (afterwards Charles II.), and the Duke of York led in the Princess
Mary to the chapel, convoyed with a number of ladies of her own age, of nine or ten
years, all in cloth of silver.' The Prince of Orange went in before the Ambassadors and
his Cousins of Tremmul and Nassau. The king gave him his bride. Good Bishop Wren
[of Norwich] made the marriage. At night, before all the Court, they went to bed in the
Queen's chamber. A little after, the King and Queen bade the bridegroom goodnight as
their son ; he, as it was appointed, arose, and went to his bed in the King's chamber."
These rejoicings occurred in the short time between the sentence and execution of the
great Earl of Straftbrd. See Evelyn's Diary under the date. On his father's death in 1647,
Prince William was elected Stadtholder of Holland. He was a man of courage and enter-
prise ; in 1650, attempting to seize Amsterdam in order to make himself absolute, hewas
foiled and died, not without suspicion of poison, but, it was reported, of small-pox,
November 6th in the same year, leaving his widow, Mary of England, pregnant of a son,
born November 14, 1650, who, as William III., became king of Great Britain and
Ireland. Vertue engraved Van Dyck's portrait of this prince when young. 48 X 39 i".

Van Dyck painted several portraits of the Prince of Wales, afterwards Charles II.,
when young, among which the whole-length figure, at about ten years old, in armour,
leaning on a plumed helmet, and holding a pistol in his right hand, is celebrated ; with it
may be ranked the younger figure, seven years old, in a group of five children, No. 92 ; a
second group of three children, both of which are at Windsor ; a third group, which is at
Turin ; and a fourth, which is at Dresden. The Duke of Portland has a version of the figure

W. Sherwin and R. Tompson. This portrait was painted for Lord Cliflord of the " Cabal."
The earrings here depicted were given to him by Queen Catherine, and are still preserved
at Ugbrooke, Chudleigh, 'seat of the owner of this painting. For the Queen and her
portraits, see Mr. Cleland's picture, No. no, and Mr. Stephens's piece of beadwork,

costume and coiffure worn on her arrival in England, 1662. In the catalogue by Chiffinch
of King James's pictures, No. 1191 is the " Queen-Dowager, half-length," marked as by
Lely, and " unfinished." R. Gaywood's print of this lady, " taken from the original as it
was presented to Don Francesco de Mello, ambassador of Portugal in London," was
doubtless from the picture presented to Charles as a sort of voucher of the beauty of the
bride which her parents, then not long established on the throne of Portugal, sent for
the purpose to London. Hollar engraved the same portrait. The Strawberry Hill portrait
is now at Montreal, Kent. See also No. no. 49 X 39 in.

Life-size, three-quarters length figure, seated, face to right ; right hand on a queen's
crown ; the left hand partially covers her bust with a scarf of tissue ; purple robe, lace,
blue velvet mantle lined with ermine ; pearl ornaments ; hair in short ringlets.
This princess, daughter of John IV. of Portugal and Eleanora de Guzman, was born
in 1638; married, at Portsmouth, after long negotiations about her dowry, to Charles II.
on the 2ist May, 1662, by whom she was, after a short time, neglected and treated
with great cruelty. After the King's death she resided for some time at Somerset
House, and on the Upper Mall at Hammersmith. In March, 1693, she returned to
Portugal, of which kingdom she, on the retirement of her brother, Pedro II., in 1704,
became Regent ; she died December 31, 1705, aged 67. There are various descrip-
tions of her person, including one which stated that, when she stood up after sitting,
she appeared to have no legs, and Evelyn's, which said that " The Queen arrived [at
Portsmouth] with a train of Portuguese ladies in their monstrous fardingals and guard-
infantas, their complexions olivander, and sufficiently unagreeable. Her Majesty in the
same habit, her foretop [the lock of hair on her forehead] long and turned aside very
strangely. She was yet of the handsomest countenance of all the rest, and, though low ot
stature, prettily shaped, languishing and excellent eyes, her teeth wronging her mouth by
sticking a little too far out ; for the rest lovely enough." Clarendon said, " The Queen
has beauty and wit enough to make herself agreeable to him [the King] ; and it is very
certain that, at their first meeting, and for some time afterwards, the King had very good
satisfaction in her." Stoop, Lely, Wissing, and Huysmans painted various portraits of
Catherine of Braganza, some of which have been engraved.

1673, she being not yet fifteen years of age ; arrived in England November 21 following.
" The facts that the Duke's proposals had been accepted," says Defoe, "and his having
been actually married, were announced to James at the same moment." " The news
came on Sunday night to the Duke of York that he was a married man ; he was
talking in the drawing-room when the French Ambassador brought the letters in, and
told the news : the Duke turned about and said, ' Then I am a married man.' It proved
to be the Princess of Modena ; for it was rather expected to be Canaples' niece." The
young bride was extremely beautiful, and distinguished by the elegance of her figure,
her fair skin, and dark and lustrous eyes which were described by Lord Lansdowp as —

After five children, Catherine, Charles, Isabella, Elizabeth and Charlotte had been born
to her, the birth of Prince James Francis Edward (James III., by some called the " Old
Pretender," and the "Chevalier de St. George") took place at St. James's, June
10, 1688. Soon after the news had reached London that William of Orange had
landed at Torbay, the unhappy queen, on the morning ,of December 7, 1688,
carrying her infant [Prince James] in her arms, stole down the Privy Stairs at
Whitehall to the river-side. The principal fear of the fugitives was that the cries
of the baby should attract the attention of the guards. Mary was handed into a
small boat, the night was extremely dark, with much wind and torrents of rain, and
the river was greatly swollen. By the gallant soldier, Count de Lauzun, who was
in charge of the party, a coach had been ordered to meet the fugitives at Lambeth,
but it did not soon appear. " During the time she was kept waiting, she took shelter
under the walls of an old church (the existing but much ' restored ' St. Mary'sj at
Lambeth, turning her eyes, streaming with tears, sometimes upon the prince, un-
conscious of the miseries which attend upon royalty, and who upon that account raised
the greater compassion in her breast, and sometimes to the innumerable lights of the
city, amidst whose glimmerings she in vain explored the palace in which her husband
was left, and started at every sound she heard from thence." From Lambeth the
queen was conducted by land to Gravesend. She escaped to France. During the life
of her husband Mary of Modena, that is till September 16, 1701, resided at St. Ger-
mains, and took part in many plans for James's reinstatement on the throne. In
1692 the Princess Louisa, whose portrait is in this gallery. No. 169, was born, and
proved one of the most beloved of children ; her death of small-pox. May 14, 1712, at
nineteen years of age, was a cruel loss to Mary, of whom, after that event, not much
has been recorded. She died at St. Germains, May 7, 1718, aged sixty. In the

kneels, holding the service-book, at the side of the prelate. The bridesmaid and other
ladies and several gentlemen stand or kneel behind the wedded pair. On the other side
are an ecclesiastic and two laymen, spectators. This ceremony was performed at Rome,
September i, 1719.
This picture and the companion work. No. 184, which is by Leone Ghezzi, were
painted for the Prince and presented by him to the Bishop of Montefiasconi, though
they appear to have been for a time in the palace of the Cardinal York. They
remained in possession of the prelate's family, hanging in the Grand Saloon of the old
Bonaventura Palace at Urbino. Gradually this ancient family died out, and', finally,
when Olimpia and Ottavia, co-heiresses and last of the race, divided the remaining
property, nearly all their art-possessions were sold. The pictures were bought in 1845
by the eighth Earl of Northesk and brought to Scotland. Both contain portraits of
the persons present at the respective ceremonies. An engaving is mentioned by Mark
Noble. 95 X 134 in.

This portrait of Princess Maria Clementina, wife of Prince James Francis Edward,
has been at Hawthornden for a long time, and with it the other relics lent by the same
owner. Of their history nothing more is known. She was a daughter of Prince James
Sobieski (eldest son of John, King of Poland, the Deliverer of Vienna), and was married by
proxy at Bologna, May 28, 17 19, and afterwards at Rome, September i, she being then
only seventeen years of age and of a romantic, impressionable temperament. It had been
one of the fancies of her childhood that she was destined to become Queen of England,
and she was always styled so by her playmates. When Prince James was induced to
take a wife she, having an immense dowry, a most amiable disposition and great
beauty, was named as one of the most eligible brides in Europe. As the English
Government desired, it is said, to prevent the Prince from marrying at all, their
agents opposed every proposal made in his behalf. Private negotiations were there-
fore conducted, and Charles Wogan, an Irish gentleman, was employed to solicit the
hand of the Princess ; he said to her: ^^ Hitherto you have enjoyed only an imaginary
54 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stttart.
title. I am now come to offer you a real one." The princess and her parents
eagerly consented to the match, and Wogan was entrusted with the lady in order
that he might conduct her privately to Bologna, where Prince James was then
sojourning. Soon, however, the secret treaty which had been made in Poland was
known in Vienna, and at the instance of the English ambassador there the
travellers were arrested at Innsbriick, and confined in a convent of that city.
Prince James was furious at hearing how his bride had been treated, and he agreed
to Wogan's proposal that she should be released by stratagem. False passports were
procured, and being disguised as a male servant attending a Mrs. Misset, Clementina, on a
dark and cold night in April, 17 19, passed out of the convent. The young girl and her
guides traversed Tyrol and the Venetian territories in disguise, and after much fatigue
reached Bologna on the 2nd of May. James was then at Madrid, and the bride
was so eager to see her spouse that, not without difficulty, she was prevented from
following him to that capital. When the marriage was complete he struck a medal
to commemorate this achievement, and it bore the motto " Deceptis custodibus, 17 19,"
with a chariot in full speed. The happiness of the pair was very brief. " The
Queen," wrote Lockhart of Carnwath, "was jealous of an amour 'twixt the King
and Lady Inverness ; who, with her husband, treated the Queen so insolently, that
she could not bear it, and was obliged to retire." See The Pretenders and their
Adherents, 1883, by J. H. Jesse, pp. 55-7. She became the mother of Princes Charles
Edward and Henry Benedict, Cardinal York, and died at Rome in 1735. 29 x 24 in.

184. The Baptism of Prince Charles Edward [charles hi.].
The companion picture to No. 147, which is by Carlo Maratti. Before the Bishop of
Montefiesconi, who is likewise represented in the marriage scene, a kneeling female atten-
dant holds the infant, dressed in red, while he is in the act of blessing the child. Prince
James Francis Edward stands near the prelate : behind him are four cardinals. On the
opposite side of the composition are many ladies, priests, cardinals, and the Governor
of Rome, wearing a handsomely-embroidered coat. This ceremony occurred on the
31st December, 1720. Fourteen of the English, Scottish, and Irish nobility were present
at the ceremony, which took place five hours after the birth of the infant. There were also
seven cardinals, and, of the Prince's entourage, the Duke of Perth, the Earls of Mar, Inver-
ness, and Dunbar ; the cardinals included Paolucci and Barberini, in the name of the Pope;
Gualtieri, as " Protector of England" ; Sacripranti, as " Protector of Scotland" ; Impe-
riali, as "Protector of Ireland"; Ottoboni, as "Protector of France"; Aquaviva, as
Minister of Spain ; Panfili, as Senior of the Cardinal Deacons ; and Albani, as Camer-
lengo. The Bishop of Segni, as titular "Archbishop of Wales," is likewise represented,
with Falconieri, the Governor of Rome. The identification of the portraits has
been made difficult by the loss of the key to the design. The present owner is now
endeavouring to complete the catalogue of persons in the picture. 95 X 13S in.

In the background of this famous lady's likeness is a curious Latin inscription signed
" W. Robertson," and referring to the escape of Prince Charles Edward from his pursuers
while in the disguise of" Betty Burke," the supposed maid-servant of Flora Macdonald,
in which character he travelled from South Uist and encountered much fatigue and
many dangers. Hugh Macdonald of Armadale, who was commanding a party of militia
ordered out to capture the Prince, and who was the stepfather of Flora, finding she had been
locked up in a guardhouse while seeking a disguise for the fugitive, ordered her release,
and furnished passes for her, Niel Mackechan, and " Betty Burke." At the same time he
wrote to his wife recommending "Betty" for service as "an Irish girl, who, she tells me,
is a good spinster. If her spinning pleases you, you may keep her till she spins all our
lint ; or, if you have any wool to spin, you may employ her. I have sent Niel Mackechan
along with your daughter and Betty Burke to take care of them." Flora was the daughter
of Macdonald of Milton in South Uist, who lived with her stepfather at Armadale, as above.
The best narrative of his adventures is that of Mackechan, published in the New Monthly
Magazine, 1840. O'Neal, Charles's companion, furnished another record. The Prince was
described as presenting a tall ungainly figure in a " flowered linen gown, a light-coloured
and quilted petticoat, a white apron, and a mantle of dun camlet, made, after the Irish
fashion, with a hood." While in the boat in which he left the island he sat by the side
of his brave protectress, singing gay ballads and telling stories of foreign adventure.
62 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart.
After many perils the party landed at Raasay, an island possessed by one of the Macleods,
who had fought at Culloden, and was a zealous partisan of the Stuarts. Macdonald of
Kingsburgh, a factor of Sir Alexander Macdonald, of Kilbride, went to meet the Prince
and found him in the form of one "dressed in very ill-fitting woman's attire, who came
towards him brandishing a thick stick." " Are you Macdonald of Kingsburgh ? " said
the strange person suspiciously. At Kingsburgh's house, his daughter, seven years old,
rushed into the room and announced that " her papa had brought home the most odd,
muckle, ill-shaken up wife she had ever seen." See The Life and Times of Prince
Charles Stuart, 1875, by A. C. Ewald, ii. chapters 2 and 3. The sheets in which Charles
Edward slept at Kingsburgh's house served as the grave-clothes of the so-called " Lady
Kingsburgh," his wife, and Flora Macdonald. He continued to wear the dress of '' Betty
Burke " until, reaching a wood near Portree, he changed that attire for a Highland dress,
and the discarded clothes were given to Mr. Macdonald, who subsequently burnt
them. He, as well as Flora Macdonald, with whom the Prince parted at Portree, was
soon afterwards captured and imprisoned, he for two years, she for a few months.
She was released, it is said, at the intercession of Frederick, Prince of Wales.
Flora married Alexander Macdonald the Younger, of Kingsburgh, and was the mother
of several children ; she died, aged seventy, at her home in Skye. Her meeting with
Dr. Johnson and Boswell during their trip in the Highlands is well known. 29 X 24 in.

216. Mary, Queen of Scots.
Portrait of Mary, Queen of Scots, at nine years and a half old. See the note
on the drawing by Janet of Francis II. of France when a child, No. 218. This similar
drawing of that King's future wife was executed in a like manner. The portrait is to
the waist, in three-quarters view to left, the eyes being in that direction. Mary
wears a close-fitting and richly embroidered coif jewelled at the front edge and crown.
Her gown, cut low and rising at the middle of the bust, is likewise embroidered and
jewelled ; the sleeves are puffed and slashed to show the lining, with jewels between each
slash. She wears a carcanet, an earring with a pendent pearl ; a chain of jewels crosses
her shoulders and is looped to the upper edge of the gown. At the side of the head is
written, vertically, " Marie royne descosse au le age de ?tetif a?is et six niois Lan 1552 au

217. Magdalen of France, first wife of James V. of Scotland, as a child.
This drawing of the Queen Magdalen of Scotland — a head — is, like the above, by
Janet, and from the Castle Howard collection. She appears as a baby, wearing a loose
cap. The face is in a three-quarters view to left : the eyes are in the same direction.
Above the head is written, as before, " Le Royne Madellaine descose.'"
Sketch by J, Janet. Lent by George Howard, Esq.
218. Francis II. of France, as a Child.
Drawing by Francois Clouet, or Janet, called " Clouet III.," on white paper and made
with black and red chalks, after the manner of the artist, his father, Dumoustier, and
others, as well as, at a later date, Albert Di.irer and Holbein. Great numbers of similar
examples exist in the British Museum, at Windsor, at the Louvre, and, till lately, when they
were sold, in one of the richest private collections in London. Those at Castle Howard, of
which this example and others now in the Gallery are specimens, are, on the whole, the
most numerous and interesting. That collection embraces instances of the same kind by
all the above-named artists and others. They appear to have been made as sketches and
studies, and not necessarily in preparation for pictures. The chalk drawings of portraits
by Holbein, now preserved at Windsor, were, on the other hand, intended to be traced
on panels or canvases. Many of Holbein's drawings of this category show indented lines
produced by styles when the portraits were transferred. None of the Castle Howard
drawings show such lines. It is therefore presumed they were not made for tracing in
preparation for paintings.
This example shows a boy of about four years old, to the waist, wearing a flat embroi-
dered and plumed cap, close-fitting jerkin tied with points, and a small ruff. The face
is in three-quarters view to left, the eyes are to the front and look at the spectator.
On the paper above the head is written with ink in an old hand : " Le feu roi francois
2 e estcant D' auphinP The words show that they were written after the King's death and
that the drawing represents him while he was Dauphin of France.

219. Francis II. of France, as Dauphin.
Portrait of Francis II. of France when Dauphin at eight years old. See the note on the

316. Book of Hours, formerly belonging to Mary, Queen of Scots.
A Book of Hours, said to have belonged to Queen Mary, and to have been used
on the scaffold in the great hall of Fotheringhay Castle, February 8, 1587. _ If so,
it may be that referred to in the account of the circumstance which was given to
Cecil : " All the assembly, save the queen and hir servantes sayde the prayer after
" Mr. Deane [Dr. Fletcher, the Protestant Dean of Peterborough, who had been
appointed to pray with Mary, and whom she and all her entourage rejected] as he
spake it, during which prayer, the Queen satt upon hir stoole, having hir Agnus
Dei, crucifixe, beades, and an office m Lattyn. Thus furnished with superstitious
trumpery, not regarding what Mr. Deane sayde, shee began verie fastly with tears and
a lowde voice to praye in Lattin, and in the midst of her prayers, with overmuch
weeping and mourning, slipt of [off] hir stoole, and, kneeling presently sayde divers
other Lattin prayers. Then she rose and kneeled downe agayne, praying in
English, for Christe's afflicted church, an end of hir troubles, for hir sonne, and
for the queen's majestye, to God for his forgiveness of the sinns of them in the
islande : shee forgave hir ennemyes with all hir harte that had longe sought hir
bloud."
On this occasion Queen Mary was thus minutely described by an official reporter to
Cecil : — " The sayde" 8 day of Februarye being comme, and tyme and place appointed for
the execution, the sayde Queene being of stature tall, of body corpulent, rownde shouldred,
hir face fatt and broade^double-chinned, and hazell-eyed, her borrowed haire aborne
[auburn], hir attyre was this. On hir head shee had a dressing of lawne edged with
bone lace, a pomander chayne and an Agnus Dei about hir necke, a Crucifix in hir
hande, a payre of beades [rosary] at hir girdle, with a silver cross at the end of them.
A vayle of lawn fastned to hir caul bowed out with wyer [wire], and edged round
about with boane lace. Hir gowne was of black sattin painted [embroidered], with
a trayne and long sleeves to the grownde, sett with acorne buttons of Jett trymmed with
pearle, and shorte sleeves of sattyn black cutt [slashed, to show the sleeves within], with
a payre of sleeves of purple velvett whole under them. Hir kirtle whole [not slashed],
of figured black sattin, and hir petticoate skirtes of Crimson velvett, hir shooes of
Spannish leather with the rough side owtward, a payre of greene silke garters."
The last articles were seen when, after the beheading, one of the executioners "plucked "
them off and " espyed hir little dogg which was crept under hir cloathes, which would
not be gotten foorth but with force, and afterwarde would not departe from the dead corps,
but camme and layde between hir head and shoulders ; a thing much noted. The dogg
embrewed in hir bloud was canyed awaye and washed, as al things els were that had any
bloud, save those thinges which were burned. The Executioners were sent awaye with
money for their fees, not having any one thynge that belonged unto hir." This was

designed to prevent the obtaining of relics for the Roman CathoHcs, who, it was antici-
pated, would affirm the Queen was a martyr in their faith. Special precautions on this
point, even extending to stipulations with Mary herself, before she was allowed to have
the attendance of her women, a service at first denied to her, were taken that no one
should be allowed to dip a handkerchief in her blood. Unless she had promised
this should not be done, as she did, she must have gone to the block unattended by
a friend.

Printed in " caracteres de civilite." This book, which once belonged to Queen Alary
Tudor, whose name, arms and badge are on the cover, is supposed to have been used by
Mary Queen of Scots on the scaffold. According to tradition it came into the hands of
her confessor, who gave it to the English College at Douai. Thence it was transferred
to the Jesuit College at Liege, whence it was brought to Stonyhurst in 1794. See the

John Talbot and of Margaret Beauchamp. The book probably came into the
possession of the Beton family early in the i6th century, and the initials J. B.,
in the blue circle (painted over a crowned INL) are probably those of James
Beton (Bethune) of Balfour, grandfather of the Cardinal. French work of the

RELICS OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, QUEEN MARY OF
LORRAINE, AND HENRY, LORD DARNLEY.
322.' CiBORlUM AND COVER, a gift of Oueen Mary to Sir James Balfour of Burleigh.
Ciborium and cover of copper gilt, known as the " Cup of Malcolm Canmore," and
elaborately enamelled in clitujipleve ; one of the finest examples of the kind and of the
twelfth century ; executed at Limoges or on the Rhine ; resembles a crosier formerly at
Goodrich Court, which is signed ^" Frater Wilhehnus me fecit" and stated to have been
found in the tomb of Ragenfroi, Bishop of Chartres in 941, but evidently of later date.
The ciborium is traditionally said to have belonged to Malcolm Canmore, King of Scotland
1056 — 1092, and to have been given by Mary, Queen of Scots, to Sir James Balfour (of
Burleigh), her faithful adherent, from whom it descended to the present possessor (see the
note on the "Tankard"' lent by him. No. 339). It may be that which, in the /;27/,?«/a/r
of the Queens Regentis Movablis received by S. de Conde, her Valet of the Chamber in
1562, is named among enamelled objects as "Ane lawer with a cowp and cover of copper
ennamaillit.''' On the bowl are six subjects from the Old Testament in medallions,
enclosed by foliage or stems on which are inscriptions. On the cover are likewise six
subjects from the history of Our Lord, corresponding with the prototypes of the Old
Testament series. On the bowl are: i. Abraham circumcising Isaac. 2. Abraham
bearing a sword and lamp, Isaac follows with wood for his own pyre. 3. The Sacrifice of
Isaac, who kneels on the altar, Abraham grasps him by the hair and raises his sword
while an angel holds it back. 4. Samson quilting Gaza : on each side of a castle are
two soldiers in long hauberks of mail, with kite-shaped shields, and armed with lances.
This is the costume of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, as in the Bayeux Tapestry.
Samson is not in armour. 5. David rescues a lamb from a bear. 6. Elijah, standing in
a square cart with two horses, and having a blue nimbus, is taken up to heaven. On
the cover the subjects are: i. The Baptism of our Lord: the figures of Christ and St.
John are of hlac enamel, excepting the faces of gilt metal. 2. Christ bearing the Cross,
with figures of mockers : three females follow Him. 3. The Crucifixion, between Mary
and St. John. 4. The Resurrection : Mary approaching the tomb. 5. The Harrowing
of Hell. 6. The Ascension. The lower part of a ciborium of very similar workmanship
is preserved at Warwick Castle, and comprises six subjects from the Old Testament,
accompanied, as in this example, by Latin verses, three of which are identical with three
before us. Engraved in Shaw's Decorative Arts, and in Mr. A. W. Franks's memoir on
the Enamels in the Art Treasures Exhibition, Manchester, 1857. A ciborium of similar
form now in the Louvre bears the name of the artist, A/pais.

323. Hand-Bell of Mary, Queen of Scots.
This handbell, of silver gilt, was one of the objects of personal use which,
doubtless furnished Queen Mary's chamber ; it is perhaps one of those
WEST GALLERY.] RelicS.
articles she was permitted to retain at Fotheringhay, among which, according to an
inventory of her goods, was a " Closchcte." It is certain that, according to the fashion
of her time, she was accustomed to keep a bell on her table with writing apparatus. The
devices on the bell support the tradition which avers that it may have been used
during her captivity. In a will, made during her illness at Sheffield in February, 1577, she
bequeathed to Claude Nau, her secretary, who wrote the document, "y4 Nau^ 7)ic7i grand
dzamant, ma grande escritoyre d' argent aiix bords derez et la closcJicte de niesnie." In the
inventory of her goods, taken probably at Chartley in August, 1586, is included, with
other valuables, " Une clochette d'argcnt destis la table de Sa Majeste." In another
inventory made at Fotheringhay, February 20, 1587, of jewels, etc., in the custody of her
servants after her death and in the hands of Elizabeth Curie, are mentioned a silver-gilt
candlestick, " a little silver bell^' etc. Around its waist, externally, are engraved :
I. The royal arms of Scotland. 2. The Greek monogram of the name of Christ within a
circle which is inscribed " /;; lioc Vince 86." 3. A vine, of which one half is leafless, a
hand issuing from clouds and holding a pruning-knife, cuts off the dead branches ; around
it are the words ^'Virescit, vvlnere, virtvs.'" The design is identical with that on the
reverse of a jeton (or counter of silver) of Queen Mary, one of six formerly in the posses-
sion of the late Edward Hawkins of the British Museum (others belonged to Mr. B.
Nightingale), and described by Mr. A. Way in his Catalogue of Antiquities, etc. exhibited
at Edinburgh, 1856, p. 180. 4. A monogram of the Greek letters " *" and '' M "
(for Francis of France and Mary of Scotland) ensigned with an arched crown, bound within
an oval and enclosed by a circular band, on which is " Sa vertv 7notire." This motto,
which is an anagram of Mary's name, occurred in a description of devices embroidered
on a bed. wrought by her, as stated in a letter from Drummond of Hawthornden to Ben
Jonson, dated July i, 1619. The monogram occurs likewise engraved within the hoop
of Mary's signet-ring, which is now in the British Museum. Within the bell is an
engraved device of concentric circles, with lines radiating from the centre and pointing
to letters and numerals engraved within the circles. The letters have been read, be-
ginning from the outer circle, " Claniat svas''' (for " she calls her attendants"): it is
probable the letters are initials and the numerals ciphers for names. It may be one
of the keys for secret writing much used at the time, and especially by Oueen Mary and
her adherents. Some of the latter are known to have been designated by numbers Mr.
Way observed that the Greek monogram (No. 2 above) and this device appear to be of
a later date than the arms. No. i, and the crowned monogram. No. 4. The former
two may have been added after Oueen Mary's death. This is one of the relics or
heirlooms mentioned in the note on the " Tankard of Agate," lent by Lord Balfour of
Burleigh, No. 339. It is probable that the ring and the bell were engraved in France
during the interval between Mary's betrothal to the Dauphin, August, 1548, and their
marriage, April 24, following. The crowns on the monograms of " 4> " and " M " resemble
the crown of France, rather than the depressed crown of Scotland. A monogram of " F "
and " M " occurs on some of Mary's coins, combined with a crown.

Essex, from originals belonging to the Duke of Portland.
Locket with hair of Charles I. ; Lent by The Earl OF Essex.
There is a pathetic interest attached to this relic of the pall. See Sir T.
Herbert's Memoirs : " The Royal Corps being embalmed and coffined, and lapped
in Lead, and covered with a new velvet-Pall, was removed to the King's House at Sf.
James's [St. James's Palace] where was great pressing by all sorts of People to see the
King, or where he was. A doleful Spectacle ! But few had leave to enter and behold
it." The same, or a similar pall, had been, according to Herbert, already used. "Mr.
Herbert, during this [the execution of the King] was at the door [of the Banquetting
House], lamenting ; and the Bishop [Juxon] coming thence witli the Royal
86 Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart.
Corps, which was immediately coffined, and covered with a black velvet-
Pall," he and Mr. Herbert went with it to the backstairs to be embalmed." Again, a
the interment in St. George's Chapel, at the instance of Herbert " accordingly the
corps was thither carried from St. James', in a hearse covered with black velvet, drawn
by six horses, also covered with black." " This is memorable, that at such time as the
King's body was brought out of St. George's Hall, the sky was serene and clear, but
presently it began to snow, and fell so fast, as by that time they came to the West-end of
the Royal Chapell, the black velvet pall was all white (the colour of Innocency), being
thick cover d over with Snow. So went the White King to his Grave, in the 48th year of
his age and the 22nd year and loth month of his reign. Letting pass Merlyn's Pro-
phecies, some make it allude to the white Sattin his Majesty wore when he was
crowned in Westminster Abbey in the year 1625, former kings having on purple Robes at
their Coronations.''
This refers to the fact that, notwithstanding a very threatening prophecy, popularly
attributed to Merlin, disasters of all sorts would attend the coming of a '' White
King" to the throne of England, Charles had, the day being that of the Feast of the
Purification, or " to declare the virgin purity with which he came to be espoused to his
kingdom," deliberately elected to be attired in white when he was crowned at West-
minster. The publication by William Lilly in 1644, entitled " A Prophecy of the White
King," had renewed the superstitions here alluded to.
369. Ribbon of the Garter which belonged to Charles I., and given by him to Benjamin
Hide when the King was prisoner in the Isle of Wight.
Benjamin Hide was the ancestor of Gilbert White of Selborne and of the present
owner of the ribbon. He was a merchant trading in the Mediterranean, and is supposed
to have planned an escape for the king in one of his ships.

John Ashburnham, ancestor of the present Earl of Ashburnham, was one of the

were divided amongst certain of his attendants. One of the shirts, the drawers, garters,
and the sheet used to cover the body, fell to the share of Ashburnham. They were at
onetime preserved at Ashburnham Church, but were afterwards removed to Ashburnham
Place. A complete history of these clothes will be found in the Sussex Archceological

Sir Thomas Herbert, the King's Groom of the Chambers, who attended his master's
last hours in St. James's Palace and at the scaffold, Whitehall, wrote in Mefnozrs.,
&c., as follows, of the night of January 29th, 1649, and the next morning: "The
King commanded Mr. Herbert to lie by his Bed-side upon a Pallat, where he took
small rest, that being the last Night his Gracious Sovereign and Master enjoy'd ; but
nevertheless the King for Four Hours or thereabouts, slept soundly, and awaking about
Two Hours afore day, he opened his Curtain to call Mr. Herbert ; there being a great
Cake of Wax set in a Silver Bason, that then as at all other times, burned all Night ;
so that he perceiv'd him somewhat disturb'd in sleep ; but calling him, bad him rise ;
For, (said his Majesty) I will get up, hai'ing a great Work to do this Day ; however
he would know why he was so troubled in his sleep? He [Herbert] reply'd, May it
please your Majesty, I was dreaming. "
[The dream, which Herbert described at length in a letter to Dr. Samways, printed
with Memoirs, &c., as above, was, at the King's request, related to him. It included a
vision of Archbishop Laud, who had been executed three years before, desiring to see
his Majesty, and being admitted, having an interview with his master, kissed his hand,
and, upon seeing his "pensive looks, gave a sigh," thence making his usual reverences,
the third being so submiss, as he fell prostrate with his face on the ground."
" The King said, my dream was very remarkable, but he is dead ; yet had we conferred
together during life, 'tis very likely (albeit 1 loved him well) I should have said some-
thing to him might have occasioned his sigh." Charles was more than once much
affected by dreams and other signs and omens.]
The King rejoined : " // was remarkable, Herbert, this is my Second Marriage-Day ;
I would be as trim to-day as may be ; for before Night I hope to be espoused to my blessed
Jesus. He then appointed what Cloaths he would wear : Let me hai'e a Shirt on more
than ordinary, said the King, by reaso?i the season is so sharp as probably may make me
shake, which some Observers will imagine proceeds from Fear. I would have no such
Imputation. 1 fear not Death ! Death is not terrible to me. I bless my God I am
prepar'd."' The morning was so intensely cold that the Thames was considerably, if
not wholly, frozen over.

" Colonel Hacker commanding the Guard at the King's execution knocked easily at

but knocking the second time louder, the King bade him go to the door. He guessed
his business. The Colonel said he would speak with the King. The King said, ' Let
him come in.' The Colonel in trembling manner came near and told His Majesty it
was time to go to Whitehall, when he might have further time to rest. The King bade
him go forth, he would come presently. Some time His Majesty was private, and
afterwards taking that good Bishop (Juxon) by the hand, looking upon him with a
cheerful countenance he said ' Come, let us go,' and bidding Herbert take with him the
silver clock that hung by his bedside, said ' Open the door. Hacker has given a second
warning.' Through the garden the King passed into the park, where making a stand
he asked Mr. Herbert the Hour of the Day ; and taking the Clock into his Hand, gave
it him, and bade him keep it in memory of him ; which Mr. Herbert keeps accord-
ingly." See Hcrberfs Memorials, p. 132. This watch, which descended to Mr. W.

The Prayer-book was given by Isaac Herault (Herauldus or Herauld) to Sir Richai'd
Browne, father-in-law of John Evelyn, of Wotton, Dorking (author of the Dzary, Sylva,
&c.), who is often mentioned in the Diary. It was saved by Herault from destruction
by some of the King's enemies, and bears on the fly-leaf the following note in the hand-
writing of Evelyn : —
" H(ic) S(acer) E(st) Liber Liturgicus Sanguine Martyrum Coronatus Quern a diro
Parricidarum Furore salvum fecit Isacius Heraldus Ipso horrendi Facinoris Die
serenissimi Magns Britannise regis CAROLI priinii A Deo Coronati Martyris Gloriosis-

Q(ue) In Eeternam Memoriam. This is the Booke which Charles the First M.B." (Martyr
beatus) " did use upon the Scaffold xxx Jan. 1649, being the Day of his glorious martyrdom.'
Isaac Herault was a son of Didier Herault, jurisconsult, who died in 1649. His
brother Louis was a minister of the Walloon Church in London, a staunch sup-
porter of the King. The Prayer-book was printed in London by R. Barker and the
Assignees of John Bill, 1638.
Sir T. Herbert in his Memoirs relates how Bishop Juxon said prayers before the King,
on the day of his death, and read the 27th Chapter of St. Matthew, which relates the
Passion of our Lord. The King asked the Bishop if he had chosen so appropriate a
chapter. The Bishop replied, " May it please your gracious Majesty, it is the proper
lesson for the day as appears by the Calendar, which the King was much affected with, so
aptly serving as a seasonable preparation for his death that day." That chapter remained
the lesson for the day when the office of " King Charles the Martyr " was added to
the restored Prayer-Book in 1662.

father's private secretary, Mr. James Edgar, with whose family they have since re-
mained. Mr. James Edgar had "been out in the '15," and was accompanied by his
brother John, who was taken prisoner and died of his wounds in Stirling Castle, while
James followed the Prince, his namesake, to France, and as his private secretary
remained with him till his death, in 1764, nearly fifty years. His eldest nephew, John
Edgar, followed Prince Charles in 1745, escaped with difficulty and joined his uncle
in Rome, where he was closely attached to Cardinal York, then Prince Henry Benedict :
he became a Captain in Lord Ogilvie's Scotch regiment in the French service, and
taking advantage of an amnesty, returned to Scotland.

CENTRAL HALL.
797. Suit of Tilting Armour of Prince Henry.
This suit, or rather portions of a suit of tilting armour, the other pieces of it remaining
at Windsor, is interesting as being seen somewhat differently arranged in No. 73, the
portrait of Prince Henry. The picture shows that its original appearance was different
to what is now seen, the surface, except in the ornamented parts, being of a dark blue.
The ornaments, consisting of a rose, thistle, and fleur-de-lys, occur with the monogram
PP on all the pieces. The construction of the suit is good, and in many points resembles
that of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, now in the Tower collection and like the present
suit now bright.
The ornamentation of Prince Henry's suit is not as fine as the Leicester one, but the
gilding has been preserved. There is in the collection of Lord Hothfield, at Appleby
Castle, a left-hand gauntlet of similar design to the right-hand one of this suit.
Another right-hand gauntlet of somewhat similar design was also in the Meyrick
collection, figured in Skelton's work, pi. 78.' The rough play of the tilt yard would
account for the necessity for more than one gauntlet, and the mainefer seen on the left
hand of this figure was only for use in mounted exercises. A vamplate for the lance, of
similar design but stouter material, is in the Tower collection, as also a gorget and the
upper portion of a grandguard. These two last pieces are, however, unfinished.
No maker's mark has been found on this suit, but it is supposed to have been the
work of William Pickering, Master of the London Armourers' Company, 1607-8. See

799. Cabinet of Charles L, left by him at Aston Hall before the battle of Edgehill.
The history of this cabinet refers to the visit of Charles L to Aston Hall, near
Birmingham, on the evenings of Sunday and Monday, October 16 and 17, 1642, a week
before the battle of Edgehill, when he was the guest of Sir Thomas Holte, Bart, a
staunch Royalist. The King was on his way from Shrewsbury to relieve Banbury
Castle, which was then dangerously besieged. The room where he slept is still called
"The King's Chamber." Departing on the morrow he left this cabinet and the bowl
("No. 800), which are lent to the exhibition by the Corporation of Birmingham,
the present owners of the Hall and its contents. These articles passed by the marriage of
Miss Holte, heiress of her race, to the Bracebridge family. The late Mr. Charles Holte
Bracebridge bequeathed them to the Corporation, so that they have again found their
way to Aston Hall. Lent by The Corporation of Birmingham.

From the numerous peculiarities of construction and the slightness of the material,
it would seem to have been an experimental suit, and as far as can be judged not an
improvement on the armour of the period. The gauntlets do not belong to this or any

825. Two Curtains, a Counterpane, and a Valence, worked on a green velvet
ground by Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Countess of Shrewsbury.
Such being the case, these articles must have been executed at Tutbury Castle and South
Winfield Manor House, while the Scottish Queen was in charge of George, Sixth Earl
of Shrewsbury, Earl Marshal of England, and his second wife, Elizabeth, called " Bess
of Hardwick," widow of Robert Barley of Barley ; of Sir William Cavendish of Chats-
worth, Treasurer of the Chamber to Henry VIIL ; and of Sir W. St. Lo, Captain of the
Guard to Queen Elizabeth. The Earl was her fourth husband, and, dying in 1607, she
survived him seventeen years. The Countess was " a woman of masculine under-
standing and conduct ; proud, furious, selfish, and unfeeling. She was a builder, a
buyer and seller of estates, a money-lender, a farmer, and a merchant of lead, coals,
and timber." Mary was given in custody to the Earl, and he treated her with " such
care and concern " that the captive declared she was safe nowhere else, and was almost
content to be in his charge.
Respecting Mary's occupations at Tutbury, while she was in charge of the Earl and
Countess of Shrewsbury, Nicholas White, afterwards Knight, and Master of the Rolls in
Ireland, thus described her reply to his enquiries when he visited her there in 1569. " I
asked her Grace, since the weather did cut off all exercises rbroad, how she passed the
time within. She said that all the day she wrought with her needle, and that the
diversity of the labours made the work seem less tedious, and continued so long at it till
very pain did make her to give it over ; and with that laid her hand upon her left side
and complained of an old grief newly increased there." This was the disorder which in-
duced Mary to take the waters at Buxton. Besides the " Queen's Maries," Fleming, Beton,
Livingston, and Seton, there were attached to the Queen's train an embroiderer and a
tapestry maker. This was in 1562. Various pieces of embroidery, said to be the works of
Mary, are in the possession of Mr. D. Scott-Moncrieff, Mr. C. C. Maxwell, the Dowager-
Marchioness of Huntly, &c. ; some of them are here.

856. James, Earl of Derwentwater.
Engraved by George Vertue.
James Radchffe, third and last Earl of Derwentwater, was son of Mary Tudor,
natural daughter of Charles II. by the lovely and accomplished actress Mary Davis.
It was his misfortune that by the ties of religion, acquaintance, and his near relationship
to the exiled Royal family, he was drawn into rebellion, and there is little doubt that a
fear lest his personal attachment to the Stuarts would again inevitably lead him to
espouse their cause, together with the danger the Government feared from his vast wealth
and territorial influence, made him a special object of punishment. This was carried
even beyond justice in the case of his relations. More than one Act of Parliament was
passed in order that the family fortune might 'be reduced.

Mezzotint after J. Markluin.
As long as the tale of " the '45 " continues to be told, the name of Flora Macdonald
will, as Dr. Johnson said, " if courage and fidelity are virtues," be mentioned with
honour. She and her relations were no friends of the Stuarts, but when in his dire distress it
fell to her lot to be able to succour and save the hunted Prince, with a devotion and fear-
less courage she accomplished her object. She was arrested and sent to London, but after
a short imprisonment in the Tower was released on parole, and eventually pardoned in
1747. She became the wife of Alexander Macdonald, and, after a long and eventful
life in America, died at her Highland home at Kingsburgh, March 5th, 1790.

Mar's offer of adhesion, on which he took the part of the exiled Stuart. Gathering his
friends together he persuaded them to proclaim James III.,andfor a time, chiefly with the
help of the Highlanders, held Scotland. But he was no soldier, and he was out-
gcneralled, and eventually obliged to leave the country. Sailing with his Royal INIastcr from
Scotland, he reached France in safety, and spent the remainder of his life an exile.

with the following verses : —
Routed o'er hills the young adventurer flies,
And in a cottage sinks to this disguise.
Fled his gay hopes, defeated his fond scheme,
His throne is vanish'd like a golden dream.
By manly thoughts he'd charm his woes to rest :
In vain ! Culloden still distracts his breast.

By George Scharf, Esq., C.B.
Interior of vault beneath the Monument of Henry VII. and his Queen in Westminster
Abbey, when opened on nth February, 1869. We are looking east and viewing the remains
cased in lead, of James 1., Henry Vll., and Elizabeth of York, deposited in the year 1625.

The largest body on our left is that of James I. The middle one, marked with a
Maltese Cross, is that of Elizabeth of York. The body to the south is that of Henry VII.
The space around the remains of James was originally occupied by a wooden coffin, which
has crumbled to pieces, and many fragments of it strew the ground. When the coffin

of James was introduced, the remains of Henry and his Queen were displaced and
pushed against the south wall, their shoulders being made to overlap. The names of
. both Kings are engraved upon metal plates attached to their leaden coverings. See

872. Three Portraits: William, Viscount Kenmure ; Richard
Gascoigne ; and John Bruce.
Viscount Kenmure, at the instigation of the Earl of Mar, had joined the Jacobite forces,
and was appointed by him to an important command. On the surrender of Preston he
was carried prisoner to London, tried, condemned, and executed on Tower Hill, February
24th, 17 16. Richard Gascoigne, taken at Preston, was a Catholic gentleman of good family,
whose ancestors had served on the Royalist side during the troublous times. He found no
mercy, and was executed at Tyburn in the usual horrible manner. Captain John Bruce,
also taken at Preston, a Scottish Episcopalian, suffered at Lancaster, October 2nd, 1716.

WATER — Engravings.
The gallant Colonel Oxburgh was a Roman Catholic officer of good family, who was
taken prisoner at Preston. Under pretence of a tour in search of the beautiful in art and
nature, he had during the early part of the year 17 15 been stirring up the Jacobite party
in many counties, and making all arrangements for the rising which took place. It is
curious that his life was not spared on account of his honourable conduct of the negotia-
tions for the surrender of the town, and his general character. His ill-fortune was caused,
there is little doubt, by the escape of so many of his fellow-prisoners, and the necessity
the Government felt of making an example of some one.

894. " Execution of Rebel Lords on Tower Hill, with Por-
traits OF Lords Balmerino, Lovat, Kilmarnock, and

Arthur Elphinstone, Lord Balmerino, was born in 1688 ; was in the ranks of James
III. in 1715 ; escaped to France; served with distinction in the French army ; was
pardoned through the intercession of his father in 1734 ; but w^hen the " Young
Chevaher " landed, he at once joined him, and though an old man, by his ability,
military skill and great personal courage, contributed in no small degree to the successes
of the campaign. Taken prisoner after CuUoden, he was brought to trial with the other
rebel Lords, and being condemned was executed on the same day as Lord Kilmarnock.
George Mackenzie, Earl of Cromartie, was one of the first to join the standard of
Prince Charles Edward at the head of 400 of his clansmen, whose hardships and
triumphs alike he shared, leading them in battle with marvellous gallantry. He was
taken prisoner the day laefore the battle of Culloden, sent to London, tried and
condemned to death. The earnest entreaties of his beautiful Countess addressed to the
King and the Prince of Wales, together with the good offices of many of the Scottish
nobility, procured his reprieve and at length a pardon.

drawn up by Thomas Deacon, Nonjuror Bishop at Manchester, for the use of
that section of the Nonjuring Church known as the " Usagers." The first edition
was published in 1732, and contained the Offices for Morning and Evening
Prayer, the Holy Liturgy (a nearly exact reproduction of the so-called Liturgy of
St. Clement), the Ordinal, &c. In 1746 an additional book was published con-
taining among other things " A Litany for the use of those who mourn for the
iniquities of the present Time," and a form for the admission of a convert. The
present book is a combination of the two previous, and has evidently been
much used. It is remarkable that in Deacon's Catechism of 1748 X}^z earlier
editions are advertised and this Liverpool edition is not mentioned. The owner
has been unable to find any mention of it, or to hear of any other copy.

JAMES, PRINCE OF WALES, AS JAMES VIII.
Pattern Coinage for 17 16.
171. Pattern Guinea of 1716. Gold and Silver.
172. Pattern Crown of 1716. Silver. The dies for these coins were engraved in France
by Norbert Roettier previous to Prince James's departure for Scotland in 1716. No
pieces appear to have been struck at the time, but the dies having come into the
possession of Mr. Matthew Young in 1828, a few specimens were struck off, and
the dies then defaced and deposited in the British Museum.
173—181. Touch Pieces of the Stuarts from Charles II. to Prince Henrv,
Cardinal, Duke of York (Henry IX). When the King performed the cere-
mony of " touching," he put about the neck of each applicant a white ribbon with
one of these pieces attached to it. They have on the obverse a ship in full sail
and the King's name and titles, and on the reverse St. Michael slaying the Dragon
and the inscription, SOLI deo gloria. The type was taken from a coin called
the Angel, which was the piece previously used at this ceremony from the reign
of Henry VII. to that of Charles I. At the Restoration, when the Angel was no
longer issued as a current coin, Charles II. substituted these medalets in its place
The specimens exhibited form a complete series, viz. of Charles II., in gold (two
sizes); of James II., in gold and silver; of Anne, in gold; of Prince James
Edward as James III., in gold and silver (executed by Hamerani at Rome); of
Prince Charles Edward as Charles III., in silver ; and of Henrj^, Cardinal,
Duke of York, as Henry IX., in silver.

subsequently disavowed by the Advocates, and an apology accepted ; but on the

the office of Lord Advocate for not prosecuting with more vigounthe enquiry he
was commanded to make into this display of Jacobitism.

1647, Charles I. passed through the town towards London, under the escort of Cornet
Joyce. As he entered it he was met by the parishioners, headed by their venerable
rector, the Rev. Josias Byrd, in full canonicals. The misfortunes of the King had moved
the loyal feelings of the old clergyman, and he determined to show them publicly.
Presenting the communion cup filled with wine to the king, he saluted him : ' May God
bless your Majesty.' The king, doubtless somewhat surprised, mquired the name of the
saluter. ' Please your Majesty,' was the reply, ' I am Josias Byrd, the parson of Baldock,
and I offer you this cup for your refreshment.' Whereupon the king drank, and,
returning the cup, humorously observed, ' Mr. Byrd, I thank you. I did not think I
had so good a Bird in all my kingdom.' "' The cup is hall-marked, 1609-10 ; maker's
mark, A.
N.B. — Josias Byrd was rector for 53 years. Ejected by Puritans, he lived long enough
to be reinstated. He died 1666, jet. su£e 88 years.

These four pieces show the origin of the Britannia on the copper coinage of the present

for this piece was not approved of, and in consequence was not finished ; it is now in the
British Museum. No. 2 was the second attempt, which was approved ; and Nos. 3 and 4
are the coins, the reverses of which were copied from No. 2. The figure of Britannia on
the reverses of all these pieces is a portrait of Frances Stuart, afterwards Duchess of
Richmond. She sat as a model to John Roettier, and Pepys in his diary, under date
February 25, 1667, in referring to No. 2, says : "At my goldsmith's did observe the king's
new medal, where in little there is Mrs. Stewart's face as well done as ever I saw any-
thing in my whole life, I think ; and a pretty thing it is that he should choose her face to
represent Britannia by.'' See No. 119 for her Portrait as Pallas.

RELICS OF PRINCE HENRY BENEDICT, CARDINAL, DUKE OE
YORK {HENRY IX).
1105. Ivory Casket which formerly belonged to Cardinal York.
This interesting casket of ivory, measuring seven inches long by four and half wide
and three in height, carved in high relief and mounted in enamelled silver, was purchased
at Rome in 1807, upon the decease of the Cardinal York, Bishop of Frascati, the last
survivor of the Royal Stuarts to whom it belonged.
It is divided into sixteen panels, each representing, according to the legend, a
principal event in the life of a Roman General under the Emperor Trajan, named
Placidus, who being converted to Christianity was afterwards canonized under the
appellation of " Saint Eustace," Like St. Hubert, he is said to have been reclaimed from
paganism by the miraculous appearance of the Saviour between the horns of a stag
which he was pursuing with his hounds.
This important event is represented in front of the coffer, whilst on the lid, descrip-
tive of a victory in single fight, said by the legend to have been gained by Placidus
over a commander opposed to the Roman Army, two knights on horseback in visored
bascinets and clad in mail without any mixture of plate, are engaged in single combat,
attended by their esquires in corresponding costumes.
The baptism of this Saint, that of his two sons and his wife, his capture by sea pirates,
the seizure of his children severally by a bear and a wolf, and finally the martyrdom of
the whole family by burning in a brazen bull under the orders of the Emperor Hadrian,
with other events in his life, are characteristically represented on the different panels.
The costumes represented on this casket with the style of the carvings, &c., evidently
fix its date to the commencement of the 14th century, but its great interest consists
in the hinges and mountings, which are enamelled on silver in a fine blue colour (azure)
and are profusely covered with the armorial bearings of England, having the three lions
quartered with the fleurs de lys of France (ancient) continually repeated. The face of
the lock however having the same royal arms of England enamelled on a gold plate is
of later style, and is placed over the old work.
It was stated at the sale of the Cardinal's effects that this casket came into the posses-
sion of James I. upon his succession to the English crown, and that it had remained
with that branch of the Royal Stuarts until the death, in 1807, of Cardinal York,
the last survivor of the family.

A NOTE OF SOME OF THE SUITS OF ARMOUR MENTIONED
AS BELONGING TO PRINCE HENRY (See 797).
1607. A set of arms procured for him by Colonel Edmondes in the Low Countries,
but the Colonel's death delayed their transmission until April 1607, though asked for by
ithe Prince before 1604.
June 1607. Armour and arms sent by Henry IV. of France.
160S. A present of arms and horses from the Prince de Joinvillle, brother of the
Duke de Guise. This suit is now in the Tower of London.
1608. Sir Henry Lee, K.G., Master of the Armoury, this summer presented the
Prince with an armour " that stood him in ^200 and within a year or two will serve
his turn neither in jest nor earnest." Mr. Chamberlayne to Sir Dudley Carleton.
1613. The Marquis de Villa presented to the Prince a suit of Milanese armour after
the model of those made for Charles V. and Francis I.
Mar. 1613. Warrant to pay to Sir Edward Cecil /300 balance due for armour, value
^450, made for the late Prince. Sign manual.
July 1614. Warrant to pay to Wm. Pickering, Master of the Armoury at Greenwich,
^200, balance of ^340 for armour, gilt and graven for the late Prince. William
Pickering was Master of the Armourers' Company 1608-9.
The Windsor suit is probably one of the two last-mentioned.
Note to No. 368. — The prophecy of the White King occurs among the Prophecies of the
Caledonian Merlin, or Merlin Silvester. In the days of the " Rex Albus et Nobilis," who
should follow the " Les Justitia;, ' there should be a " tempus milvorum" and all manner of
troubles, and at last " Rex Albus labetur in auram." Originally written probably in the 12th
century, the prophecy was applied first to Stephen, later to Edward IV., and lastly to
Charles I. As the " Rex Albus" was opposed by the Eagle (the Empress Matilda) and the
" pullus Aquilte " (Henry II.), who ultimately " nidificabit in summo rupium totius
Brittanniae," the words were evidently meant originally for Stephen. (See Schulz's edition
■of Geoffrey of Monmouth ; Cotton. MS. Faustina A viii. ; Cott. MS. Vesp. E. vii. ; and the
descriptions of the above MSS. in Mr. H. L. D. Ward's Catalogue of Romances.)
